If you're as obsessed with shoes as I am, you've probably spent a lot of time thinking about which fall 2025 footwear trends you're going to invest in. There's no lack of chic options to choose from, but the one I keep stumbling upon is flat slipper mules. They may be initially inspired by the hotel slippers you find in the closets of luxury properties, but the comparisons stop there. Thanks to the luxe materials and sturdy soles, you definitely won't look like you're wearing actual hotel slippers in these.
My reason for bringing up this particular fall shoe trend is that Michelle Williams was just spotted wearing a pair of flat slipper mules in L.A. heading into a taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Williams made the smart decision to pair her tan suede slipper mules with the comeback pant trend of the year: cropped skinny pants. The once-dated pant trend looks very much the opposite of dated when paired with this effortless, modern flat-shoe trend, so I fully support adding this combination to your wardrobe before fall kicks off.
